Well if this turns out to be true it’s going to make an already bad situation for the Justice Department even worse.

According to statements being made by Jesus Vicente Zambada-Niebla, who is a high ranking member of the Sinaloa Cartel, and is currently in US custody, the US provided the Sinaloa Cartel with numerous guns in exchange for intelligence on other cartels. According to Zambada-Niebla, the US also allowed certain cartels to freely import drug shipments in exchange for intel on other cartels as well.
